They did that in Ultimate Spiderman. Peter's Father and Eddie Brock's father created the symbiote in a lab.

He's not updating the costume, Jesus. It's a part of the story.

Damn, someone beat me to it. I had a subscription to Spider-man comics when I was a kid and actually had the series where he discovers the sembiotic suit. Too bad I don't still have them. It's also a great crossover to the Fantastic Four, but since Spider-man and Fantastic Four are done by different movie companies, I don't see it happening.

I like the character design for all the characters we've seen in Spiderman so far. Not to slam the old designs, but I think the new ones are better for the big screen and for our modern sensabilities. I like the black suit shot, and I think it's an effective teaser. If there was some contrived reason that Spiderman suddenly decided to just wear a black suit, I would agree with the criticisms, but it's not.

As much as I hope Venom shows up, I have a different theory: Perhaps he's wearing the suit as a sign of mourning, someone close to him has died (again) because of what he is and what he's become. I hope that the 6 films are planned because there are too many characters introduced that become major threats later on that many (including myself) would find irresponsable not to cover.

Note that these movies are similar to the original concept of the "Batman 'Trilogy'" (He does, he retires, he realises the world needs him)

I think the teaser poster is great. And Donnie_Darko, I do think the first Spider-Man was better than the second one, since the first one was more original. I do like the whole train fight on the second film, but what can beat the whole Times Square scene, when it comes to Spider-Man?

You mean the six armed thing from the Infinity Wars that used to run with the Hobgoblin for a while until they finally killed it for like the fourth time?

I agree it is (The picture) exciting and also agree with what you say about the very lame back story of Venom, but I love the Alien Symbiote spider-man and wouldn`t mind if Raimi went in this direction but hopefully this doesn`t lead to the introduction of Venom which I know loads of Fans want but would IMO make the series start looking a little stupid...

They will stick to the original suit, the only reason he's wearing black is because it's an alien organism which boosts up Spider-man's super powers.

I'm only going by the animated series, and not sure how closely it follows the comic books, but I think Brock looses his job, his girlfriend and other things and blames Spider-man for causing his life to fall apart, and he accidently stumbles across the alien organism (after Spider-man finds out that the organism is afraid of extreme noises), which turns Brock in to an alternative version of Spider-man called Venom.

I'm sire Raimi will make it work - thought the first one was pretty good (mind you MR Dafoe did a great job) and number 2 was ok. They were both good for the 'leave life behind at the door, grab some popcorn and relax' type of thing

Wow, in his neighborhood, I was pretty close then. Man I'm actually missing Phoenix right about now, it's very cold here, it'll pass though, I'll just remeber those years of commuting across the city in the dead of summer with no A/C, dry heaving and wearing gloves to avoid burning my hands on the wheel.

I said Raimi made it work, I didn't say anything about it not looking like a Power Ranger reject

I disagree, I'm all for changing the look of a character for the big screen. And you can't lose all respect for one little costume choice, look at how bad (and unfaithful) the Green Goblin looked when those first picks popped up, Raimi made that work.

If this is not just a stylized pic, I have lost respect for Sam Raimi. The classic Spider-man look should be maintained just as Superman's costume has remained faithful to its original incarnation.
